Revised: 

If a good book is a good teacher that imparts knowledge, then a good movie is like a good medicine for its quality and value.
I watched the movie of “Sherlock Holmes“, in my spare time. I really admire Sherlock Holmes from the bottom of my heart.
It’s about a bride who celebrated her wedding day, and she shoots and kills her husband, and uses an illusion to make others think that she has committed suicide. This startled Holmes and his assistant Watson, which results in them getting involved. The terrible bride “came back from the dead”.

When everyone was afraid of the ghost;  the bride of Amelia Ricklitty, Holmes insisted that, “there is no ghost in this world!” He firmly believes that the case will come to light. He and Watson wisely break into the house and analyse everything about the murder.Holmes is calm and careful, so that every detail around him would not escape his eyes.
If I were Holmes, I would have his analytical skills,  reasoning ability and calmness, however I won’t necessarily have his efficiency. We don’t need to be detectives or even household names. We just need to make fewer mistakes and absurd actions in our lives.
The film is a true reproduction of the Victorian era’s work. Mysterious, gothic grey, English gentlemen in suits and shoes. Although they are not very handsome, but they are very attractive. So, I think the movie/film is better than the TV series.
